The Weather Situation
Tropical Storm Polo appears to be strengthening. In fact, I am thinking the wind is already a little stronger than the previous hurricane center advisory.

Polo's rain bands are slowly pulling away from the west central coast of Mexico. The main concern will be from rough surf as well as some scattered heavy showers near the coast.

The dry air that was mentioned on the Twitter update is eating away at the thunderstorms north of the circulation center.

Rainfall amounts may exceed 10 inches with flash flooding and mudslides.

Expect heavy surf on the southern Baja and west central coast of Mexico. Conditions are much improved today over west central Mexico.
